Quikness - what does it do exactly?
 

Just another newbie question: what does quikness bring exactly? For example with the strong water bless, it gives you '50% quikness' ?

It increases your action points and allows you to move and attack more often, or stay still and attack twice. I think.

Re: Quikness - what does it do exactly?
 

50% quickness basically gives the unit an extra 'turn' every other turn.

i.e. in battle:

quickened unit hits
enemy hits
quickened unit hits
quickened unit hits
enemy hits
quickened unit hits
enemy hits
quickened unit hits
quickened unit hits
enemy hits

etc. 'Hits' can be replaced by 'moves' as well, so they can run super fast.

Ok, thanks for the info. So is the strong water bless generally worth it?

Re: Quikness - what does it do exactly?
 

Yep, strong water bless is generally considered the best bless, I think. Combine with a strong fire bless for some super bless action.

Re: Quikness - what does it do exactly?
 

It is a very nice bless. Not only do you get the extra attacks, but you also close with the enemy quickly, reducing your exposure to spell and arrow fire. And, if morale breaks, you tend to have more survivors make it to safety.

I think info on the 3 stackable quicknesses should be put in the FAQ. I read before the difference between the bless, the item, and the spell quickness, but I keep forgetting.

sounds good! I am thinking of a bless strategy using Machaka - I figure those big spiders will become even more lethal with a water bless. What other blesses could I combine this with - I am thinking at least N4 to get regeneration?

Re: Quikness - what does it do exactly?
 

Well, if you're not going to go all the way with Fire 9, but just other level 4 blesses, to go with W9N4, I suggest Fire 4. You have multiple attacks to start with, more with the quickness, and you want them to land even on shielded troops, so that +2 to attack really helps.

Re: Quikness - what does it do exactly?
 

I can't remember the details of the Machakan spiders, but in general I reckon the tactic with a bless is to increase things the unit is already good at. So a unit with defense 10 doesn't benefit that much from a W9 bless compared to a unit with defense 16 (which becomes nigh-on invincible).

I do remember thinking that an E9 bless was good with the spiders, because then they get crazy protection. But I didn't think about it for long, so don't trust me on that.
